Lincoln as a community school

Lincoln Elementary is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment. The school offers specialized programs for students with learning and emotional disabilities and employs differentiated instruction and co-teaching strategies to meet the unique needs of each learner. In recognition of its efforts, Lincoln was honored as a National Blue Ribbon School in 2020, reflecting its dedication to academic excellence and student achievement.

The school's mission is to develop academically driven, lifelong contributing members of society. Through collaboration with the Erie community, Lincoln Elementary strives to create a culture of high expectations, respect, and accountability, actively engaging students in their learning journey.

keys to success

During the 23-24 school year, Lincoln launched their after-school programming framework, offering two programs per quarter. Over the course of the year, 47 unique students participated in enrichment programming, and the average attendance across all programs was 88%. This was a milestone moment for Lincoln, as students and families have been requesting more opportunities since Lincoln launched as a community school. After-school programming is a vital key to keeping students engaged and connected to school!
